What are the truest lyrics you ever read?

[ChipWrecked]

Money
So they say
Is the root of all evil
Today

But if you ask for rise
It's no surprise that
They're giving none away

A Song About War (or at least its what I feel the track is about) - Pink Floyd - Vera

Does anybody here remember Vera Lynn
Remember how she said that
We would meet again
Some sunny day
Vera! Vera!
What has become of you
Does anybody else in here
Feel the way I do ?

Wow! I saw a spitfire display yesterday, and after it, I could hear, just about, "We'll meet again" by Vera Lynn being piped out from somewhere not too distant.

I thought of this Pink Floyd song.

it's just like the dark.
It scares you witless
but in time you see things clear and stark."

"If I wasnt in the rap game
Id probably have a key knee deep in the crack game
Because the streets is a short stop
Either youre slingin crack rock or you got a wicked jumpshot
[censored], its hard being young from the slums
Eatin five cent gums not knowin where your meals comin from
And now the [censored] gettin crazier and major
Kids younger than me, they got the sky grand pagers
Goin outta town, blowin up
Six months later all the dead bodies showin up
It make me wanna grab the nine and the shottie
But I gotta go identify the body
Damn, what happened to the summertime cookouts?
Everytime I turn around a [censored] gettin took out
[censored], my momma got cancer in her breast
Dont ask me why Im [censored] stressed, things done changed"

[katyseagull]

You can spend your whole life buildin'
Something from nothin
One storm could come and blow it all away
Build it anyway

You can love someone with all you heart
For all the right reasons
And in a moment they can choose to walk anyway
love em anyway

God is great but sometimes life aint good
And when I pray
It doesn't always turn out like i think it should
But I do it anyway
Yeah I do it anyway

"Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind." - Kansas

[Mrs. Utah]

There is something about this song that rings true for those who have kids.

Peering out of tiny eyes
The grubby hands that gripped the rail
Wiped the window clean of frost
As the morning air laid on the latch

A whistle awakened someone there
Next door to the nursery just down the hall
A strange new sound you never heard before
A strange new sound that makes boys explore

Tread neat so small those little feet
Amid the morning his small heart beats
So much excitement yesterday
That must be rewarded must be displayed

Large hands lift him through the air
Excited eyes contain him there
The eyes of those he loves and knows
But what's this extra bed just here

His puzzled head tipped to one side
Amazement swims in those bright green eyes
Glancing down upon this thing
That make strange sounds, strange sounds that sing

In those silent happy seconds
That surround the sound of this event
A parent smile is made in moments
They have made for you a friend

And all you ever learned from them
Until you grew much older
Did not compare with when they said
This is your brand new brother
This is your brand new brother
This is your brand new brother

Elton John/Bernie Taupin
The Greatest Discovery

[DrewDevil]

There I am in younger days, star gazing
Painting picture perfect maps
Of how my life and love would be
Not counting the unmarked paths of misdirection
My compass, faith in love’s perfection
I missed ten million miles of road I should have seen

Meanwhile our friends we thought were so together
Left each other one by one on the road to fairer weather
And we sit here in our storm and drink a toast
To the slim chance of love’s recovery

"Love's Recovery," Indigo Girls

[dylan's alias]

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
...
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look?
